There is no inherent meaning, purpose, or value to life and the universe in general. Any meaning, purpose, or value imposed upon them are purely abstract in nature, that is that they are fictions made by people.

Man. If you're personality and memories are backed up into a computer, and then you die and they make a clone of you with that personality, is it still you or is it someone else who was exactly you? T.T I don't want my memories to live forever, I want ME to live forever.

Thats why you wouldn't just upload your personality and memories. You upload your consciousness. You completely subvert your human body. You can then link your uploaded consciousness with a body, robotic of course, then if the body dies, you aren't really affected. Except that you lose the best damn Mr. T android you ever had... DAMN THEM!

Well, I'm more one for poetry, but I know a fair bit (mostly on the continental side of things). I read too much. Anyway, I'm rather a fan of the stoics, Nietzsche, the existentialists, the transcendentalists, Machiavelli, etc etc. However if you're gonna quiz me on Russell or Wittgenstein or something I'm totally clueless.
